staffs opinion that the enlargement of the existing bldg. and the possibility of increased repair
activity could be detrimental to the residential nature of the neighborhood. The proposal may also
lead to an increase in the number of cars on the lot which are waiting to be repaired. The staff
recommends denial. The commissioners may consider approval of a lesser request. On September
3, 1997, the planning board recommended approval in an 8-2 vote. Allison stated that most of the
complaints about this request were not about the expansion but about the cars parked near the road.
Chairman Haire said she understood the county could not require that the cars be moved
(conditional use). Allison said this was correct. The code did not have a provision that allowed for
conditions.
Commissioner Johnson asked if the cars near the road was the only concern expressed. Mr.
Allison said that the majority of people calling were concerned about the cars.
David Cromie (applicant): Stated that if the cars were bothersome they would be moved
the next day.
Commissioner Boone asked when the cars were stationed at their present location, Were they
there prior to 1990 (county -wide zoning)? Cromie said they were parked at the location during the
last six months.
Commissioner Fortner asked how many cars were being discussed. Cromie said there were
about six cars. Cromie again stated the cars would be gone before the weekend.
Jim Vernon (a resident of Elmwood Road): Stated he did not have a problem with the
expansion; however, he had a problem with the cars near the road.
MOTION by Commissioner Boone to grant the request as recommended by the Planning
Board.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
REQUEST OF THE MOORESVILLE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS TO
AUTHORIZE THE TOWN OF MOORESVILLE PERMISSION TO EXTEND THE
EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION OF THE TOWN ONE (1) MILE FROM THE
PRIMARY CORPORATE LIMITS AND ONE (1) MILE FROM THE SATELLITE
CORPORATE LIMITS: Rick McLean, Mooresville Town Mgr., advised that General Statutes
allow towns over 10,000 people to request up to two miles of extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction. The
town, however, is only seeking a one mile extension. McLean explained that Mooresville had grown
significantly. Annexations have occurred because property owners wanted water and sewer.
Property owners request annexations and when this occurs they are nonconforming with
Mooresville's zoning.
Unidentified woman in audience: Asked if the zoning took in Langtree Road. McLean said
it did not. The zoning request does, however, encompass the new hospital property. He mentioned
the hospital site would be served by municipal water/sewer. The hospital officials have requested
annexation. Once the area is annexed, the General Statutes require the Town to zone the area within
60 days of annexation. When water/sewer is installed, it is anticipated that much growth will occur.
This will eliminate nonconforming uses.
Commissioner Fortner asked how many people were on the town's plarmingboard. McLean
said there were nine and four were appointed by the Iredell commissioners. These four reside
outside the corporate limits of the town (ETJ). The planning board recommendations are given to
the Town Board and for the most part, are approved.
McLean explained to the audience that the request was in reference to zoning, and it was
not about annexation. He mentioned the request was asked in anticipation that the town would
grow. The new water line will extend from the golf course to the hospital site and loop back up
